My Business Was Making $0, Until I Decided To Hire A Coach

Ah, the rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship – exhilarating highs, stomach-churning lows, and enough plot twists to make even the most seasoned entrepreneur’s head spin. I know it all too well because I’ve lived it. But amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there’s one secret weapon that turned my journey from startup stress to success: hiring a coach.

The Start of My Entrepreneurship Journey
Picture this: a wide-eyed entrepreneur, armed with nothing but a dream, a laptop, and the determination to make something out of nothing. That was me, not too long ago, diving headfirst into the wild world of online business. I had a vision to empower others in financial wellness and dreamed of becoming a six-figure coach who helped people break through limiting beliefs about money and create financial freedom.

But here’s the catch: I was making $0. That’s right—zero.

I poured hours into content creation, social media posts, and learning the ins and outs of running a business. But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t seem to convert followers into paying clients. Frustrated, overwhelmed, and on the verge of giving up, I realized I needed something more—a guide to help me navigate this journey. That’s when I made the best decision of my entrepreneurial life: I hired my first coach.

The Transformational Power of Coaching

Why I Decided to Hire a Coach
Let me start by saying this: hiring a coach felt like a risk at first. I didn’t have much money to invest, and the idea of paying someone to tell me how to run my business felt daunting. But deep down, I knew I needed help. I was tired of trying to piece everything together on my own, only to spin my wheels and end up stuck.

So, I took the leap.

I found my first coach—a 21-year-old entrepreneur who was absolutely killing it. She had built a thriving business that gave her freedom, flexibility, and wealth. At 24, I couldn’t help but wonder: How is she doing what I want to do while I’m still stuck at zero? It was time to find out.hip.

How Coaching Changed Everything

Hiring a coach wasn’t just a financial investment; it was a commitment to my own growth. Here’s how working with different coaches transformed my business—and my life:

1. Business Coaching: Turning Passion into Profit

My first coach was a business mentor who helped me understand the nuts and bolts of entrepreneurship. She walked me through creating an actual strategy—one that wasn’t just about posting on social media and hoping for the best.

She taught me how to:

  • Identify my ideal clients.

  • Create an offer that aligned with my passion for financial wellness.

  • Confidently sell my services.

Within one month of working with her, I landed my first client and made back my $3,000 investment by the time our sessions were done.

I learned that business success isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things consistently.

2. Email Marketing Coaching: Making Money in My Sleep

Next, I worked with an email marketing coach who revolutionized the way I communicated with my audience. She showed me how to use automation to create email funnels that turned subscribers into paying clients—without me having to hustle 24/7.

This newfound efficiency gave me more time to:

  • Focus on finding aligned clients.

  • Build my personal brand.

  • Sprinkle some fun into my schedule (hello, work-life balance!).

Her coaching didn’t just teach me email marketing; it taught me how to value my time and energy.

3. Dating Coaching: Confidence Is Key

Believe it or not, my next investment was in a dating coach. Why? Because I realized my personal life was affecting my professional life. A lack of confidence and boundaries in my relationships was spilling over into my business.

Through her guidance, I learned to:

  • Set boundaries that honored my values.

  • Communicate confidently.

  • Embrace my feminine energy in a way that felt authentic and powerful.

The funny thing? My newfound confidence didn’t just improve my love life—it also made me a more assertive and magnetic entrepreneur.

4. Spiritual Coaching: Healing from the Inside Out

Finally, I invested in spiritual coaching during a much-needed gap year. I was burnt out—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. My business had grown, but at the expense of my health. Chronic stress had led to physical symptoms and an overwhelming sense of depletion.

My spiritual coach helped me:

  • Process trauma and release emotional baggage.

  • Detach my self-worth from my career.

  • Find joy in things outside of work, like writing and creativity.

This chapter of my coaching journey wasn’t about making money—it was about finding peace. And ironically, that peace made me a better entrepreneur in the long run.

Lessons Learned from Coaching

Here’s what I’ve learned from investing in coaching:

  1. You Can’t Do It Alone
    Entrepreneurship is a team sport. Hiring a coach gives you the support, guidance, and accountability you need to succeed.

  2. It’s About More Than Business
    The right coach doesn’t just teach you strategies—they help you grow as a person.

  3. Success Is a Journey
    Coaching isn’t a magic fix. It’s a process of growth, self-discovery, and continuous learning.

    If you’re stuck in your business, career, or finances, hiring a coach might be the key to unlocking your potential. A coach can help you:

    • Get clear on your goals.
